Hochzillertal / Hochfügen Piste Map and Overview
Hochzillertal and Hochfügen together form one of the most exciting and snow-secure ski regions in the Zillertal, known for its dramatic high-alpine terrain, reliable snow conditions, and superb variety of pistes. With around 90 km / 56 mi of interconnected slopes between Hochzillertal’s open, flowing runs and Hochfügen’s high-altitude bowl, this area delivers something for everyone — from long, sweeping blues and perfectly groomed reds to steeper expert lines and freeride terrain just off the piste. The lifts are modern and efficient, whisking you up into expansive alpine panoramas where you can explore all day under wide blue skies.
What really makes Hochzillertal-Hochfügen feel special is its blend of excitement and accessibility. Skiers and snowboarders of all levels can find their favourite runs here — relaxed, scenic cruising for intermediates, powdery off-piste options for freeriders, and dedicated fun parks and zones that add an extra layer of thrill. The welcoming villages of Kaltenbach and Hochfügen also offer traditional Tyrolean charm with cosy mountain huts and restaurants that make taking a break as enjoyable as the skiing itself.

What’s included in the Ski Pass?
- Access to the entire Hochzillertal / Hochfügen ski area, including all lifts and pistes within these linked resorts.
- Spieljoch access: Most combined passes (e.g., day tickets) are valid across Hochzillertal, Hochfügen and the neighbouring Spieljoch area for full value.
- 1-day, 1.5-day, and multi-day options that cover all three (Hochzillertal, Hochfügen, Spieljoch) to suit the length of your stay.
- Zillertal Superskipass compatibility: You can upgrade to this broader pass if you want to ski beyond just Hochzillertal/Hochfügen and explore the whole Zillertal network.
Does it include multiple resorts?
Yes, within this immediate area, the ski pass typically covers Hochzillertal, Hochfügen, and Spieljoch interconnected under the combined ticket system.
Are there cheaper, smaller passes?
There are area-specific passes like the 1-day or 1.5-day Hochzillertal-Hochfügen-Spieljoch ticket, which is more affordable if you only plan to ski this local region. However, if you want to explore other ski areas in the Zillertal valley (e.g., Zillertal Arena, Mayrhofen, Hintertux Glacier), upgrading to a Zillertal Superskipass or Snow Card Tirol gives broader access without buying separate tickets for each.
